shabbat shalom

Rabbi Levi used #Genesis 37:2, 41:46, and 45:6 to calculate that Yoseph’s dreams that his brothers would bow to him took 22 years to come true, and deduced that a person should thus wait for as much as 22 years for a positive dream’s #fulfillment. Reading Rabbi Levi #commentary, a person could think to themselves that #Dream's take time to manifest. But The Torah is teaching us something much deeper through the story of Yoseph.

Okay, what's being taught?

#God gave Yoseph his visions/Dreamz at the age of 17 leading him on a path of growth/transformation of self. Dreams are not about standing ovations, winning awards or receiving honor. From a torah prospective, Gd gives every human a vision/Dream.. so we may know.. how great we are(through overcoming challenges/struggle); How Great God is!

Arguably #Yoseph transformation process started when his brothers threw them into the pit.Interpreting the detail of the phrase in Genesis 37:23, “they stripped Yoseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him,” a #Midrash taught that Yoseph’s brothers #stripped him of his cloak, his shirt, his tunic, and his breeches. In the beginning reality/life/Gd had to take everything away from Yoseph in order for him to have a vessel too receive the entire #world 22 years later.

Lesson:
"According to Gd your #journey, dreams will force you to change grow into someone unrecognizable to yourself. don't be scared, allow the #transformation to happen; it's your time!"
